For fracture mechanics studies. Gages are in comliance with standardized test methods, such as ASTM E 1820 for determination of fracture toughness properties of metallic materials. Clip-on gages are used for a variety of fracture mechanics tests, including compact tension, arc shaped, disk shaped, bend speimens and other standards organization's test methods.

Features & Benefits

  • All capable of high frequency operaton (50 Hz or faster, depending on version).
  • Sharp grooves per ASTM E 1820, E813, and E300 for improved stability when mounted.
  • All standard units meet existing ASTM requirements for accuracy.
  • Fully enclosed gages to protect from accidental damage.
  • Full bridge, 350 ohm strain gaged design for compatibility with nearly any test system.
